In recent years, we have witnessed a strong increase in the sales of second-hand luxury watches, rather than buying a new luxury watch that risks losing value at first. Investing in a collectible watch or a "pre-collector" watch is a great way to combine the useful with the pleasant. The market is healthy and the coast is easily verifiable for each model.

The market value of a watch depends on the desirability of the brand, the aesthetics of the watch, the materials used and the complications of the movement. But the main element remains the rarity of the model and the brand. Never lose sight of this precept, the most valued watches are the most difficult to have.

Which luxury watches to invest in?

As the purchase of a luxury watch is above all a personal pleasure, this question is all relative and the answer will also depend on your tastes. However, investing in "pre-collector" watches, which are relatively recent but are no longer in production, makes it possible to hold models that have not yet reached maturity. Over time, the rarity will become more precise and make them watches that are sought-after and that take value every year.

The sporty range of the 1980/1990’s of the Rolex brand is to be preferred, namely the references Submariner, GMT Master and Daytona.
